I've lost my taste for the radio, and in spite of all the problems with the recording industry, I love listening to TBF performers and I will probably take home music in the form of cd's. I have no idea who will takes us this year, but I won't be disappointed.

How is 'Ol Ft. Worth? We lived in Arlington for a couple of years and I was the chef at Walnut Creek CC in Mansfield. Our daughters loved taking trips to the gardens in Ft Worth.

It's good! Growing a lot right now-i'm afraid it is going to become Dallas! Not that big of a music scene here, but hey, I guess that's what road trips to Colorado are for !I LOVE the Botanic Gardens!! Go there quite a bit- they have a nice concert series in the summer!

I bought Connor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band's Outer South last week and after a few listens I would highly suggest picking this up. I didn't expect a whole lot from this band, but am thoroughly impressed with their sound (I can't quite put my finger on it, its like Bob Dylan meets the Clash meets something else). Anyway, I'm really looking forward to hearing their live set on Thursday night. Yet another great band that this festival has turned me on to that I would probably not listen to otherwise.
